Market Reef

The following is a press release by Jarmo, OH2BN:
"The August 2007 outing to Market Reef, OJ0B, was designed to decorate the lighthouse with powerful antennas that can only be hoisted in good weather conditions.

The group was successful, and in addition to making more than 13,000 QSOs, a SteppIR beam plus an assortment of wire antennas were mounted at the light.

The newly composed group of OH0RJ, OH2BH, OH2MM, OH2PM, OH7EA and OH8NC are at it again and they plan to be operational from September 15 until September 24, including both Scandinavian Activity Contests, with three
stations. Now they have more flexibility since they have a resident helicopter at their disposal.

Outside of the contest their frequencies are as follows:
CW: 3523, 7023, 10113, 14033, 18083, 21033, 24903 and 28033 kHz
SSB: 3775, 7075, 14175, 18135, 21275, 24960 and 28475 KHz

Once again, if you are a stamp collector or wish to receive your QSL card with unique Market Reef stamps, you may send an SASE with 7 Euros (10 USDs) as your postage / donation to the Finnish Lighthouse Society via QSL manager OH2BH.

If you wish to tour the Reef in the spirit of adventure, you may follow in the footsteps of the August 2007 and November 2005 OJ0B activities: http://sm0w.com and www.kolumbus.fi/oh2bn/pagemarket.htm

The Finnish Lighthouse Society has been active repairing the lighthouse this summer, and you may wish to follow their activities which include daily reporting and interesting general details."
